Blast From The Past

Whew! What a busy weekend Norah has had. On Friday, D & J took a half day of work so that they could drive to Noblesville, IN to visit Conner Prairie and attend Symphony on the Prairie.

Conner Prairie is a living history museum where actors and volunteers get into character as early settlers of Prairietown in the year 1836. The houses in Prairietown are houses that have been brought to the site from areas all over the state of Indiana and were built around that time period. Visitors can tour the homes and interact with the actors to learn about life during that time period. JC grew up visiting the museum with her mother and brother, going to camp there and was even one of the actors in one of the houses for two summers during her youth. As you can imagine, this was a very special and meaningful trip for J in that she got to share a bit of her favorite youth-time memories with Daddy and Daughter. Check out the pics of J and Norah standing outside of the "McClure Home", the house that she worked in as "Patsy Cox", Dan playing Old School "Jenga" with one of the actors and standing outside of the "Campbell Home", the local Dr. in town.

Symphony on the Prairie is another great childhood memory of Mommy. Each weekend in the Summer, the Indianapolis Philharmonic Symphony Orchestra puts on a series of concerts out on the open prairie. Families load up their coolers with wine, cheese, sandwiches and whatnot and sit underneath the stars listening to wonderful music.

The Webers met up with wonderful family friends, The Friedmans, supped on sandwiches, drank a little wine, and had a wonderful broccoli salad courtesy of Cherryl (FANTASTIC) whilst listening to the music of Harry Potter (another favorite of J's). Norah did a WONDERFUL job. She smiled and played and even feel asleep for a while in her Poggy (the best traveling bed ever...I HIGHLY recommend it to all parents with children under the age of 6 mos).

All in all, it was such a WONDERFUL 48 hours. July is going to see A LOT of traveling for the Webers, and we look forward to sharing it with all of you. Next up: North Carolina for the 4th of July! Stay tuned.
